The body of Elmer C. Drewes '21 was found with a bullet hole through the forehead on a deserted road in the north part of Philadelphia Saturday night Oct. 16. The body was covered with an overcoat and propped up against a post. That robbery was not the motive for the murder was evinced by the fact that over a thousand dollars in cash and Liberty bonds were found in the pockets. The tracks of an auto were found a few hundred yards away. The police are still trying to solve the mystery. Drewes had left Hanover to go to Philadelphia where he lives. That evening after supper he left home to go to Reading, Penn., where he intended to buy an automobile in which to return to Hanover. That was the last that was seen of him until his body was found during the night.
